Here is a cake that I did for my friend's 7 year old daughter. This was the 1st cake that I actually sold. The bottom was a single layer 8" chocolate cake. The soccer ball was also chocolate. All was frosted using the buttercream frosting. I bought the candy soccer balls at the bulk section of our local grocery store. The soccer turned out neat but was somewhat time consuming in that a template piece was used for each white & black section. I traced the template pieces on wax paper & etched them on the cake
